Beauty | Sephora Haul (& great Christmas gifts ideas!)

During my last visit to Lisbon, I wanted to stop by a Sephora store and check what was new in the beauty world.  I didn’t have anything in mind (except for one item which you’ll read below) but it’s always pleasant to walk around and check the latest trends in the beauty/skincare world. So for today, I’m sharing with you the things I bought; a little Sephora Haul.

Hope you like it!

I have mentioned Belif products in other posts (here and here) and until this day I love them just as much as when I got to know the brand for the first time. So, when I saw this little Christmas cracker with all Belif must-have products, I knew I had to get it.

It makes also a fantastic Christmas gift to someone who either never tried the brand or it’s a skincare lover.

I am super curious to try the cleanser and toner; all other products I know and love!

Creamy cleansing foam moist / bergamot herbal extract toner / Hungarian water essence / Moisturizing eye bomb / The true cream – aqua bomb

Price: 20Eur (Sephora.fr – couldn’t find it on .pt website)

I finally got (not on Sephora though) the eye cream my Dermatologist prescribed back in July, and therefore, I am finally doing the full routine she recommended. Let’s kick those wrinkles away!!

More updates on the results soon!

NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy

Price: approx. 45Eur. (if I recall correctly)

I’m a huge fan of the beauty blender original sponge as it provides such a nice finish to whatever foundation I use. I decided to buy the mini sponges, mostly to use in the under-eye area, to blend concealer more easily.

Price: 16.55Eur (Sephora.pt)

I was missing on having a good, compact, basic eyeshadow pallet that is 100% travel-friendly. I knew I had to look at Urban Decay, and as you can see in the photos below, all shadows are very basic yet you can make a variety of looks with them. Also worth mentioning is the mirror size; big enough for you to see yourself while doing your makeup.

Venus (demi-matte) / Foxy (matte) / Walk of Shame (matte) / Naked 2 (matte) / Faint (matte) / Crave (matte)

Price:  31.55Eur (Sephora.pt)

Since we don’t have Sephora here in the Netherlands, I always try to make time to visit a store when I am in Lisbon. I simply love going there and my favorite part is by far the “Beauty on the go” section.

It’s the perfect spot to find mini/travel sizes of products you want to test, without spending the full price, and also catch some of your favorites but then on a travel-friendly size! 

I mean, doesn’t this sound, great??

To have a complete travel set, all you need to add here is a sunscreen, foundation, concealer, mascara and setting spray. and voila! 

But if you are curious to see what my travel beauty and skin care items are, then please check out these posts:

All products mentioned, except for the NeoStarta eye cream since it was something prescribed by the Dermo, I’d totally recommend as a Christmas gift to any of your friends/relatives that it’s a beauty and/or skincare lover.

I’m sure you’ll make them happy.

I would, for sure! haha

Hope you like this post.

See you soon!
